Yes. It is a Simulation. But not a Computer Simulation

So.. why is reality like a Simulation?

Our reality is like a simulation, but don't worry, it is not a computer simulation

You are not a simulated person in a simulated world

This is real and you are real. This is as real as it gets!

The affairs of our world are not controlled by some inter-dimensional teenager in a futuristic world playing a beefed-up version of The Sims or Sim Earth using a divine mouse and keyboard!

First of all, it can be guided and controlled from a position that is less easy to guide and control

In a Simulation Theory account of reality (which says it is all done by computers) this is done by over-seers programming the computers that cause reality. But that is not so, none of that is real

However, the direction in which our reality develops is based on The Divine Agency's program, which is implemented by Madaba

Also, our reality didn't just happen. It was set up and then guided so as to do certain things - for instance to bring about a working example of a human information society

I believe that we exist in a human information society because that is what The Divine Agency wants this version of humanity to be right now

And there are different versions of humanity - in different dimensions of existence. All dimensions of existence are governed by a program issued by The Divine Agency but Madaba is only in charge of this one dimension of reality, that we are in now

If it wasn't like a simulation and was just run in an unguided way there would be no guarantee that intelligent life would evolve - or at least it may not happen so much, and be there thanks to raw natural nature rather than by design

Reality is also like a simulation in that its existence satisfies some need felt by those who are in control. I believe that God is The Universe and that The Universe is God and that The Universe is the way in which God exists. I believe that God wants to exist as conscious, sentient beings - and that is why reality is populated with sentient conscious beings

I believe that God lives through his human figurations - he feels our joys and our sorrows, it is the way in which he wants to live and exist - through us

I believe that the world exists in the way it does because The Divine Agency want it to be that way

They are not simulating a natural world, a natural universe

Instead, they are simulating human civilization

If it wasn't like a simulation then chances are intelligent life would be way less likely to emerge, never mind flourish and develop

So - it being a a simulation means that we are here for a reason, not just as a fortunate outcome of a great many processes
